Rewatching Engaged to the Unidentified I'm reminded that the first time I watched this I was inspired to make scones, clotted cream, and jam (all homemade) after the characters made some. When watching Little Witch Academia (series) I made a tart after the characters discussed stealing one. The tart was a recipe I came up with, strawberry and guava topped with a dollop of whipped cream. Of course many anime have lead me to making curry. When watching Sweetness and Lightening I was inspired to make a lot of dishes, but alas I never had all the ingredients. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else is inspired to experiment in the kitchen due to anime?

I don't like it when a character is just there for sex appeal or has a lot of fan service, however, if a cat girl is done right I think they are adorable! Pretty much a combination of any character with an animal is adorable since animals are superior to people. It doesn't even have to be a girl, take Engaged to the Unidentified as an example. I wish I was a cat girl, it's why I have a cat ear headband.

It will be a busy week for me, I go on a day trip tomorrow, but I'll try to watch it this week and let you know what I think! I also have several others I've gotten recommended today that I hope to watch this week.

I'll be sure to get out my Python textbook to remind myself to read through it and practice! I really want to make progress, but it's so easy for it to slip my mind when there's so much other stuff to do. It really is, I love the style the artist did it in! I just added that anime to my soon to watch list, meaning I'm leaving it open in a tab until I watch it. lol

I find the characters inspire me and push me to emulate the traits I admire in them. I basically spend all my birthday and Christmas money on anime. I'm often referencing and quoting anime in conversation. My sister, INTJ, says that the characters in my novel sound like anime characters and honestly I wasn't trying. I use anime as a means to spend time with my sisters. Whenever I'm stressed, such as before a doctor appointment, I'll watch an episode and it helps me destress.

Well that's awesome that you know Java! It's such a popular one, it's on my to-learn list. I'm sure if you start brushing up on the others it will come back to you and won't be too difficult to relearn. It really is nice to meet others interested in it! Hopefully it will push me to make progress and start learning again. BTW, your avatar is adorable! What character is it?

It's been a high pain day. Chronic illness life. I dislocated a spinal joint (I have a connective tissue disorder) and I was in bad pain and couldn't move for awhile. Even though it relocated after awhile it still really hurts and has caused me to dissociate most of the day. But I'm grounding myself which is helping. And overall I'm in a better mood now, happily enjoying Christmas music, anime, making gumbo, and enjoying AF! I've missed having a forum to participate on, and I've been wanting to have a community of anime lovers.

It's such a wonderful anime! I was really happy to be able to get one of my sisters, INTJ (I refer to them by their personality types here), into it. She is my favorite too, though I always refer to her as Azunyan. Sadly I don't know much! Right when I started learning Python life got in the way. So I know bits of Python, CSS, and while it's not actually a programming language, as I'm sure you know, I also know a good bit of HTML. I want to make progress in learning it again soon. What about you?

Welcome! I'm new as well, just joined last night, but everyone has already made me feel welcome, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it here! I love New Game! Since I'm an artist, and also into programming (don't know much yet) it really inspires me. And of course, I love the characters! If you enjoy that kind of anime have you seen K-On? It's adorable with lots of happy feelings and adorable characters.

That one sounds really sweet, and I hadn't heard of it! I love it when an anime can balance between being lighthearted while still dealing with serious issues.

Just looked that one up, it looks cute, too! I'll have to try it out A couple others I have enjoyed are Toradora and Blue Spring Ride.

That's always reassuring, thanks! Thank you! I'm already enjoying it, so I'm excited and looking forward to it.

Really enjoyed this anime, as well! Watched it last December with my sister when we were going through a hard time and it really helped us cope. I've seen it several more times.

I love this series! It's great how it deals with grief, trauma, and trying to get through bad times, as well as dealing and communicating with other people. The series kept me on my toes and would make me laugh and then cry.

I'll have to look into those, I haven't seen them! Petite Princess Yucie sounds good, I love it when they focus on friendships! I know, right?! I really wish it had another season.

That's so awesome! I loved Yona so much I also got my sisters to watch it and they love it now, too. One of them, I'll refer to them by their personality types instead of names, INTJ loves it so much that she's seen it even more times than me, which is surprising. It makes me so happy when someone loves an anime I recommended to them. INTJ is currently raving about my latest recommendation, Little Witch Academia. She loves that Diana is also an INTJ. Ooh, weird and creepy, it sounds perfect! I'll definitely be trying it. Thanks! And yes, that umbrella scene is a classic! I've thought about starting Death Note so many times, but every time I try it looks like it's going to be *too* creepy and dark, so I'm not sure!

Writing on my phone now, so hopefully there won't be too many typos. I have a connective tissue disorder, so I just dislocated a facet joint and am stuck on the couch. Yes, Orange does such a realistic portrayal and without making it triggering (at least for me) for people who have depression and intrusive thoughts! I've watched it multiple times and read the manga as well. Such an important story. It originally aired before I opened up to anyone about my depression, and watching it really helped me. Actually my sister is rare in her form of Deafness. She could be standing in front of a jet engine and not hear a single thing, so hearing aids don't do anything for her. She did get a cochlear implant, but she never uses it. Turns out it wasn't a good fit for her because she was a little too old to adjust to it, and between her sensory processing disorder (which I also have) and her autism she couldn't handle processing the sounds. She also has cerebral palsy. But it's okay, whether or not she uses her CI hearing isn't what's important, what's important is that she's happy and has the choice. And as everyone might have noticed I'm not good at small talk. Things get deep fast. Lol

That's so awesome, congratulations! What are you going to major in?

I go through phases of wanting to watch something darker such as Tokyo Ghoul or Attack on Titan and wanting to watch a fun and lighthearted shoujo. I'm currently reading the Tokyo Ghoul manga so I wanted a fun anime to watch, so I'm rewatching Engaged to the Unidentified. Mashiro, Hakuya, and Kobeni are just too precious! Some of my other favorite shoujo are Yona of The Dawn, Special A, Snow White with the Red Hair, Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun, From Me to You, and Ouran Host Club. There are many others, but I'll try not to leave 20+ long lists of favorites here. What are some of your favorite light and fun shoujo?

Yeah, I've seen people say that as well! It didn't bother me, but I can see why it would bother others. The story is wonderful, and it really impacted me due to its themes of depression and bullying. Along with that, I have a Deaf sister, so I was really able to relate to Yuzuru and her struggle to help her sister through her depression. I cry through the whole movie whenever I watch it.

Thank you! I look forward to getting to know everyone. I have not read the manga, but I love reading the original material of any anime I like, so I want to read it. I've heard good things about it and that it includes content the movie doesn't. It's always exciting to get new scenes you didn't see in the show or movie. Currently, the manga I'm reading are Fairy Tail, Tokyo Ghoul, Yona Of The Dawn, and Vampire Knight.

Agreed. I'm remaining hopeful, but also being realistic about it. I'm in the process of getting the manga to read through at the library, but I have to get them as an interlibrary loan so it will take awhile to read all of them (since I want to read it legally).

Yona of the Dawn and Snow White With The Red Hair are wonderful! I've seen Another a couple times now, and it's really good, though the ending always freaks me out! I actually just rewatched Another for Halloween. Brycec, I'll take your word on the Another novel and try to read it someday! I doubt the library would have it, though. I'm also a gamer, but a broke one, so the number of games I've played is pretty slim. But, my sister is hoping to get an X-Box soon, so I'm excited to have a new gaming platform to borrow, as well as Overwatch! I've seen so much of Overwatch, I really want to try it. Currently, I mostly play PC games, Skyrim and Minecraft. Also, speaking of Yona, I need another season!

Hello, everyone! I look forward to getting to know you and finding more people to share my love of anime with. In my personal life I do have a couple friends and two of my sisters into anime, however, none of them are as into it as me so I've been wanting to find a place where I fit in with other people who have the same passion as me and where we can discuss it to our hearts' content. I want to be able to talk about it without someone giving me a blank stare or without feeling as if I have to pull them along to watch an amazing anime. Some random bits about me: I'm in my early twenties I have pet hedgehogs I'm chronically ill I'm an artist You can find out more about what kinda anime I'm into on my profile and how I got into anime. Anyways, nice to meet you!
